Introduction: The number of errant dogs found on public roads and in the deprived populations has increased significantly. Thus, castration of males and females is considered the main technique to reduce the number of animals. Projects aimed at castration of animals from the lower class or wandering population is an efficient solution to solve or reduce the problem. There are several obstacles to choosing the best anesthetic protocol for effectiveness, safety and cost reduction. Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the interference of the use of an anesthetic protocol on serum biochemical parameters of urea, creatinine, ALT (alanine aminotransferase), AST (aspartate aminotransferase), total proteins and albumin in dams submitted to ovariosalpingohysterectomy (OSH) by the Project Castração Itinerante of the College of Veterinary Medicine of Valença. Materials and Methods: Blood samples will be collected at two moments, before and after the anesthetic procedure of 17 healthy, adult and non-specific dams. Theanimals will receive acepromazine and pethidine as preanesthetic medication (MPA). They will be induced with ketamine, fentanyl and propofol, and maintenance will be performed with propofol. Lidocaine without vasoconstrictor, morphine and fentanyl will beadministered via the epidural route. The samples were sent and analyzed in the Laboratory of Clinical Pathology. The determinations were performed using commercial kits and the evaluation, if there is a significant difference, generated by the student T test. Results: The mean values of the serum biochemical parameters evaluated remained within normal limits.Conclusion: It is concluded that the anesthetic protocol studied is safe for the hepatic and renal systems.

In most of the dental specialties, it is necessary to make models of plaster or virtual,either for study and planning, as for performing laboratory work or filing. During the history of dentistry, the materials and techniques for molding and constructing the model were evolving, making these steps more faithful and generating results withgreater precision. In some cases, there is a need to assemble the models in a semi-adjustable articulator, aiming the relationship of the models with anatomical positionsand movements performed by the mandible. This process has also evolved, and to-day we can find totally virtual systems that allow the execution of the whole process,from the acquisition of the digital model, to the virtual articulator assembly and pros-thetic restoration, if applicable. In this work, the authors carried out a review of the literature in order to show the options of scanning models and their uses.
